Smithfield, RI,
December 21, 2015 (Newswire.com) -
Hot on the heels of our first successfully funded Kickstarter campaign for the CSB502SSD for the Raspberry Pi 2, the Raspberry Pi Zero has been released to the world and it's a game changer! Higher performance than the original Pi, but smaller, cheaper and much lower power. In order to achieve this, the Pi-Zero was designed with very minimal I/O. To compliment this, Pi 2 Design has created the Zero Shield, giving users their full-size USB ports back, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, M.2 SSD Socket, Real-Time Clock with Battery backup all in the new Pi Zero form factor. It was a tight squeeze but we did it!

Similar to our CSB502SSD, the Zero Shield can supply enough power to support the shield and Pi Zero through its on-board power jack. You can find it on Indiegogo here:
